What Is an Apology Letter?

An Apology Letter is a written statement sent to the individual with the intention to admit the error or offense that hurt them and show regret for your attitude and failures. Although it is possible to call the person or meet them privately to admit your wrongdoings, a Letter of Apology has its advantages - you allow the offended individual to know your point of view on the matter and they will have time to reflect on the issue and respond when convenient. Additionally, usual means of communication may not be available to you, so a letter sent via traditional mail or email may be your last chance to make amends.
